Oakland used the 69th overall pick to select the Division II tackle on Friday. The Raiders had been targeting offensive line this year and made the move after spending their first two picks on defensive stoppers.

Veldheer was selected to the AP Little All-American team his senior season but will face a major upgrade in competition when he arrives in the NFL.

The Raiders took Texas defensive tackle Lamarr Houston in the second round after trading down twice to get extra picks earlier Friday. Oakland used its first-round pick on Alabama linebacker Rolando McClain.
